Yah, that swivel screen is pretty cutting-edge stuff! I know I would
love to see Olympus figure that out and include it on a dslr.
I understand daMoose's drooling, but mine is actually directed towards the S95.
Oh, Bill, that hurts. Congrats. I'm on a slow simmer regarding another

real darkroom again. But large pinhole photography using printing
paper inside an oatmeal container is on my shortterm agenda now that I
have a flatbed scanner.
